Viewing rank status

Complete this task to view the status of all the ranks that are associated with a storage unit using DS CLI commands.

After you have created your ranks, there might be times when you want to view the status of all the ranks that are associated with your storage unit. Using the parameters that are associated with the lsrank command, you can refine your search to specific rank criteria such as:

Storage type (fixed block or CKD)
Data state
Configuration state
RAID type

Perform the following step to view the status of all the ranks that are associated with the storage unit.

Issue the lsrank command to generate a list of all the ranks and their status. Enter the lsrank command at the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:

dscli>lsrank -dev storage_image_ID -l

The state and datastate column information for the ranks contains reported conditions that can require further action. See the lsrank command for an explanation of the action designations.
